Claude Code now supports 240+ models via NVIDIA NIM gateway — including Nemotron-3 120B for agentic coding
Claude Code users have discovered that the built-in /model command lists not only the standard Claude models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) but a full NVIDIA NIM gateway section with 239+ additional models that can be swapped mid-session.
Key models available

Nemotron-3 120B for agentic coding
The Nemotron thinking variant has been tested for multi-file refactoring and reportedly reasons through changes before touching code — ideal for agentic tasks. Latency is higher than Claude, but it can save Claude credits on long sessions.
How to use it
- Open any Claude Code session
- Run
/model - Scroll past the first four Claude options — NIM models appear below
- Press
dto set one as your session default, or pass--model nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12bat launch
If you're burning through Opus credits on extended sessions, this is worth experimenting with — especially for Python or Rust codegen.
